    🧸 Loving & Reliable Babysitting in Penrith Hi parents! 👋 I’m a 27-year-old mum to a beautiful 2-year-old daughter, and I understand how difficult it can be to find someone you genuinely trust to look after your little one. As a mum myself, I know how important it is to feel comfortable and confident when leaving your child with someone. I’ve struggled with finding reliable childcare for my own d

I’m comfortable with babies through to school-aged children and enjoy creating a calm, fun and nurturing environment. I’m happy to help with meals, bath and bedtime routines, playtime and keeping the home tidy, along with extra helping hands if requested. 🤍

Nannies in South Penrith

What is the difference between a nanny and a babysitter?
In everyday use, not much — most people say babysitter for both. In NSW the line is regularity rather than hours: occasional evenings are babysitting, while the same days each week is nanny work, whatever anyone calls it. That matters for one reason. A nanny needs a Working With Children Check and you are the one expected to verify it. A privately arranged babysitter in your own home is not legally required to hold one. Where the line falls in NSW.
How much does a nanny cost in South Penrith?
Nannies near South Penrith are asking between $16 and $55 an hour, across 14 profiles that state a rate. That is the rate they put on a profile, not a quote for a standing arrangement. What ongoing hours settle at is between you and them, and we take no part in it. Agree the rate, the hours, and what happens when plans change before the first day, in writing. What moves an hourly rate. How much a nanny costs covers the range.
Can you claim a nanny on Centrelink or the Child Care Subsidy?
No. The Child Care Subsidy is only paid for care at an approved child care service, and a nanny you hire yourself is not one. The single route to a subsidised educator in your own home is In Home Care, and it is narrow: you have to be eligible for the subsidy, show that no other approved care is available or suitable, and meet at least one of non-standard or variable hours, geographic isolation, or complex needs. Families apply through their state's In Home Care Support Agency, the educator comes from an approved provider, and the hours are charged per family instead of per child. Claiming a nanny on the Child Care Subsidy.
Do I have to check my nanny's Working With Children Check?
Yes. For regular ongoing care the duty to verify sits with you, because there is no employer to hand it to. Ask for their WWC number, family name, and date of birth, and check it on the Office of the Children’s Guardian site before the first day. It is free and takes about two minutes. Once you have verified someone, the Office tells you if their status changes. How to run the check.
What does the verified badge on a nanny's profile mean?
The badge means we checked their ID and their WWCC with the NSW Children's Guardian ourselves, not that they ticked a box. It is the WWCC check you would run yourself, already done once. For ongoing care still run your own, because verifying it in your name is what gets you told if their status later changes. We do not check references, first aid certificates, or claimed experience. Those sit on a profile as the nanny’s own statement, labelled that way. The full list of what we check. The questions to ask a babysitter cover the rest.
Are these different people from the babysitters in South Penrith?
Largely the same people. 18 of the 28 babysitters and nannies near South Penrith said they want regular work, and one person can want both, so a profile can appear on both pages. This one leaves out the ones who only want the occasional evening. Babysitters and nannies near South Penrith.
Is a live-in nanny legal in Australia?
Yes, and a live-in nanny is almost always an employee, covered by the Miscellaneous Award. From 1 July 2026 the award's adult minimum for daytime weekday hours is $25.74 an hour employed permanently or $32.18 casually, more outside those hours, and superannuation is owed once someone works more than 30 hours in a week. A room and meals are not a substitute for wages: deducting board from pay needs their written authorisation and has to be principally for their benefit. Fair Work publishes the Miscellaneous Award summary.
Do you employ the nanny, or handle pay?
Neither. We are an introduction service: you find each other here and everything after that is between the two of you, including the rate, the hours, tax, and insurance. We take no commission and never touch a payment, so what you agree is what they are paid. Why the site is free. How to hire a nanny walks it from the ad to the first day.
